## About

We have a rich history in the Great Lakes Bay Region. We started in 1948, when Richard “Dick” Somalski returned home from Michigan State University, where he studied forestry. He started a small company called Bay Lawn Service, installing lawns and planting shrubs and trees for residential and commercial properties throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region.

Dick met and wed Marilyn, the love of his life, and she quickly became integral to the business with her accounting experience. Their children, Julie, Dan and Jerry grew up with the business, helping Dick in the mornings and weekends. Dick’s two sons Dan and Jerry handle the commercial and residential ends of the business, respectively until 2012.

Today, Bay Lawn Service has grown into Bay Landscaping, a reputable member of the local, state and national communities. We’re proud that Bay Landscaping supports 25 families, and has grown its starter 3-acre parcel of land into a 70+ acre nursery. We’re looking forward to sharing our experience and expertise with you!
